The three-point line is really too close

Chapter 232 Golden State Warriors, Go Forward Bravely!

Huaxia, the imperial capital,
In the studio of CCTV Sports Channel.

"Dear viewers, what you are watching now is the first round of the 2006-2007 NBA playoffs!"

"The two sides facing each other are the regular season champions of the NBA, the Dallas Mavericks who are No. [-] in the West, and the Golden State Warriors who are No. [-]. We can see that players from both sides have begun to enter the field."

"As the leader of the Warriors, Xiaolong was the first to enter the arena. He even stopped to say hello to the Huaxia fans on the sidelines. It seems that he is full of confidence and is full of heroism!"

"After this round of matchup was confirmed, many fans and friends were sweating for Xiaolong and his Warriors. After all, the strength of the Mavericks is obvious to all. They just achieved the best record in team history with 67 wins. Leading the Chicago Bulls to an NBA record 72 wins and 10 losses is only 5 games away."

"We also invited Director Wei Ping and Yang Yi as our commentators today. What do you think of this game?"

Guidance Wei Ping said:

"Let me tell you, today's game is really interesting."

"We all know that the Mavericks are strong, but the Warriors' style of play is able to restrain them. It's a bit like dropping one thing at a time."

"The Mavericks almost swept the league this year, but they didn't win a game against the Warriors! So, the gap between the two teams is really not as big as the record of the two teams shows."

"Indeed it is,"

Yang Yi answered,
"Especially the old Nelson, the head coach of the Warriors. He used to be the head coach of the Mavericks. He is very familiar with the Mavericks team. According to the wisdom of this 'mad scientist', he probably already has a strategy to defeat the enemy."

"In addition, the Warriors are definitely not at the level reflected in their record, which can only rank eighth in the Western Conference."

"Everyone has watched the Warriors all the way here. This season they have experienced a very large personnel change, including re-establishing a tactical system with Xiaolong as the absolute core. Then the Warriors are basically in a state of running-in throughout the season. "

Seeing Yang Jian and Wei Ping nodding repeatedly, Yang Yi said vividly:
"Then what is the real strength of the Warriors? Three victories against the Mavericks is one of them. Let's look at their performance before the end of the regular season—"

"7 wins and 2 losses, 5 consecutive victories, the whole team is already on the right track and in good condition. It is definitely a team that should not be underestimated in the West. So I think the outcome of this game is really hard to say. It can be said that the Mavericks have a better chance of winning, but if Xiaolong and others play well, the Warriors have a good chance to win!"

And across the ocean,
In the TNT studio.

"So, no one thinks that the Warriors will win?" Barkley touched his bald head, "Kenny, what the hell is going on with you, did you agree to be a dragon fan?"

Kenny Smith said calmly: "You are not a die-hard fan, you are a brain-dead fan, Charles. I support the return of the Dragons and support the Dragons, but the Mavericks are undoubtedly a stronger team. With 67 wins and 45 wins, the Mavericks have the advantage. "

"Indeed, the performance of the Dallas people this year is really good, and Dirk has also played a well-deserved MVP-level performance." Miller also said, "I am optimistic that the Warriors will eventually win 1-2 games. Maybe there is still a chance for a tiebreaker, but it is still too difficult to beat the Mavericks."

Ernie Johnson talked in the middle: "The reason why the black eight is called a miracle is because it is difficult to complete. There are only two black eights in the history of the NBA-note, at that time it was still a five-game three-win system, and the rules changed to After seven wins and four wins, no team can do the miracle of black eight."

"Don't you all want to witness a miracle?" Buckley said angrily, "Do you want to make a bet? I'll prepare three donkeys for you."

"Want to lie to Donkey again?"

"Can a donkey not satisfy you?"

"You'd better come up with new tricks, the audience is tired of judging the ugly."

During the daily bickering among several people, the broadcast camera also cut to the stadium.

April 2007, 4, Dallas, American Airlines Center.

The arena, which can accommodate 19200 people, is full of seats, decorating it into a sea of ​​blue and white.

Among the crowded crowd, Dallas' iconic cowboy hats are dotted every now and then.

If it were at the Energy Solutions Arena in Utah, the 2 people might create the momentum to knock the roof off the arena.

But the Mavericks fans don't look very excited, eating hamburgers, drinking Coke, chewing and chatting with friends while holding a bucket of popcorn in their arms.

Because in their eyes, this is a showdown without any suspense.

It's only the first round.

Last year, they have already stood on the stage of the finals.

Even, once leading 2:0, the championship trophy is within reach!
If it weren't for the explosive No. 3 of the Heat team, Dallas would have won the championship!
And this year, there is no reason for a stronger team to miss the championship again!
Their passion must be reserved for the Phoenix and the San Antonio.

Such a bland atmosphere also makes the Warriors players who have prepared their psychological construction in advance a little confused.

I thought there was going to be a torrential rain under thick clouds of thunder and lightning,
Unexpectedly, there was a lot of thunder and little rain, and there was a sign that the smoke would disappear.

"They don't seem to care much about us..."

Ellis dribbled the ball quickly, then retreated nimbly and dodged, taking a long shot from beyond the three-point line.

Basketball hit the net.

"After all, the result of the game is already doomed. No one thinks that the Mavericks will lose to us."

Zhang Bolong also made a shot, and the basketball was also accurately hit.

"I think so."

Richardson suddenly stood up from the side and also threw a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

Hit again!

"I think so too."

Jackson walked over at some point and followed suit to complete the shot.

I can still enter!
"Me too!"

"And I!"

"Damn, they must be killed!"

Harrington, Pietrus, Azubuike, Barnes...

The Warriors players reached an inexplicable tacit understanding in this way, and responded to Zhang Bolong's casual words one by one.

One ball, two balls, three balls—

Except for a few inside atmosphere groups who stood aside and applauded, all three-point solitaire hits!

All eyes were on them, and the Huaxia reporters applauded excitedly.

At this moment, every Warriors player felt extremely confident and proud.

They are standing with the whole team, with the support of more than a dozen brothers behind them.

"it is good!"

Zhang Bolong's blood surged and he brought everyone together.

"Then today, let the people of Dallas take a good look."

"we are--"

"Golden State Warriors!"

"we are!"

"Golden State Gang!"

"we want--"

"Tear the enemy apart!"

"we will!"

"Go forward bravely!"

Game start!
